Carbonated Milk

[KEG]

any reason this hasn't been done? i've heard of Bilk (Japanese beer with milk in it), but that's not what i'm referring to.. I mean non-fermented, possibly flavoured milk. Like taking a Big M and making it fizzy

I have a ball lock to PET bottle adapter, might try carbonating my milo

[gregb]

In a PET bottle with a carbonator cap it can't hurt to try. Give it a whirl and report back.

I'd be careful of going a whole keg as cleaning would be a bugger.

there's no way i'm carbonating 19 litres of milk for the heck of it

i don't like the prospect of it lasting very long before turning nasty, either. would need ultra heat treatment to last that, then have NO exposure to non-sterile surfaces or air... not something I'm about to attempt.

Buy a soda stream and use that...

But then is it really necessary to carb your milk drinks???? YUK.

[KEG]

why yuk? might be, but until i try it - open mind

[matr]

I hope it's crap coz I just gave my soda stream to the Salvo's..

Hopefully you're not onto something & I'm missing out....

Tried some Bilk while I was in Japan. Was like nothing I've tasted before and I had difficulty finishing the bottle. Hopefully your carbonated milk turns out a bit better.

Hey, there's some kind of carbonated milk drink available. I had it at a Japanese restaurant recently. Can't remember the name tho. I do remember it was made in Indonesia.

[gregb]

Was it any good?

Cheers,

[rwh]

Yup! Sweet, only slightly milky (low-fat, perhaps?) and fizy. Kinda tasted similar to a lassi, except much less thick and fizzy. Tasty, none the less.

There is an energy drink.... cant remember what its called but its a fizzy coffee milk drink and rather tasty.
Used to drink heaps of it.....now my Bladder hates me.

[KEG]

^^ that rings a bell now that you mention it Sven..


and rwh, every time i visit prahran market i get myself a mango lassi from the indian shop... tasty!

What about spiders? They used to have spiders in bottles, I think fanta made them? That was basically just carbonated orange flavoured skim milk...

[Chris]

Spiders in bottles? I'll stick to tequila.

[DJ]

dont put milk in a soda stream... It'll explode/make a hell of a mess!!

[Chris]

Sounds like we've tried this before DJ? Is that from experience?

[gregb]

What is about the words "don't do it, it'll explode" that piques my interest so much?

Cheers,
Greg

[KEG]

this thread is a crackup now - DJ, tell us what happened

What about spiders? They used to have spiders in bottles, I think fanta made them? That was basically just carbonated orange flavoured skim milk...

yeah fanta made some a little while ago, but they had as much milk as creaming soda - i.e none.

[DJ]

I havent done it myself, but I saw it done on Merrick and Rosso's TV show a few years ago...

Merrick drunk it too and it was like it went off immediately from memory..

[DJ]

another few reason not to try it.. Or a few reasons TO try it.. Depending on whether the wife is at home or not!!

that's all very interesting - years ago I experimented with a soda stream machine and tried to make fizzy milk (horrible thought, but interesting concept nontheless) - created a wonderful explosion with an enormous mass showering effect - I was amazed how far milk will travel under compressed conditions - after spending an hour cleaning the ceiling I am still intrigued today, as to how this could ever be. You never know it could outsell Coke!!
